Major surgery categories
Orthopedic
Cruciate ligament procedures, fracture repair and other bone or joint surgery.
Abdominal
Foreign-body removal, gastrointestinal procedures and other abdominal operations.
Dental
Extractions and oral surgery performed under anesthesia where indicated.
Emergency
Procedures performed urgently when waiting may increase risk.
What often happens before surgery
Depending on the procedure, a veterinarian may recommend an examination, bloodwork, radiographs, ultrasound or other testing before anesthesia. These steps can materially change the estimate and are part of why two clinics may quote different totals.
